Experiment의 사업 내용

Today's funders are so conservative they only fund the most obvious ideas. At Experiment, we fund the ideas that they won't fund; the ideas that matter. Since founding, over 47,000 citizens have pledged $9 million dollars supporting 900 scientific projects on the platform. 46% of all projects on Experiment are successfully funded. When the projects are finished, the scientists share the scientific results with their backers as lab notes and peer-reviewed publications. Scientists from Stanford, Harvard, and Yale have chosen to use Experiment instead of writing grants. Bill Gates recognized Experiment by saying "this solution helps close the gap for potentially-promising but unfunded projects."

Company

Company name

Experiment

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Crowdfunding platform for science

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a marketplace where scientists pitch projects and citizens fund research they believe in. Scientists get money for experiments traditional funders avoid, and backers follow the outcomes via updates and published results.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Honolulu and remote locations; the company is currently based anywhere the founders work.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We started in Honolulu because that's where our team was located. Being remote hasn't slowed us; scientific projects and backers come from all over, so physical location is flexible until YC, which may shift our base to Silicon Valley.

자주 묻는 질문

Experiment의 실제 YC 지원서인가요?

아닙니다. Y Combinator는 제출된 지원서를 비공개로 유지합니다. 이것은 재구성된 것입니다. 실제 YC 양식 질문에 Experiment의 공개 데이터(출시 노트, 창업자 배경, 제품 설명)를 기반으로 답변했습니다. Experiment과 같은 회사가 YC에 어떻게 자신을 소개하는지 보여주며, 그들이 제출한 텍스트는 아닙니다.
